NEW DELHI: Amid growing demand for involving local people in a day-to-day non-core police works, the Center has approved a proposal to increase the fund for 'community policing' from existing Rs 5 lakh per district per annum to Rs 10 lakh per district per annum. The token amount, given to the state, is basically meant for making citizens aware of their roles in assisting cops.
NEW DELHI: Besides, the home ministry is considering a proposal of the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) on 'Community Policing for Students', adopting 'Student Police Cadet' model of Kerala which is a school-based youth development initiative that trains high school students by inculcating in them respect for the law, discipline, civic sense, empathy for vulnerable sections of society and resistance to social evils.
The Kerala model, which is meant for all government, government-aided and private unaided schools, imparts training to students through various camps and classroom activities involving local police personnel who interact with them at regular intervals with instructions on certain dos and don'ts.
Community police officers, staff of supporting departments including traffic and drill instructors are involved in interactive training programmes in schools at least twice a week. Though the state government funds the 'Student Police Cadet' scheme in Kerala, private unaided schools meet expenses from their own resources.
Referring to the BPR&D proposal, the MoS for home affairs M Ramachandran on Tuesday said, "Its implementation (across the country) is subject to availability of funds, consent of state governments and acceptance of other agencies, that are proposed to be engaged in the project". The minister was responding to a Parliament Question on the issue of 'community policing' in Lok Sabha.
The concept of the community policing is aimed at associating citizens with the local police in solving neigbourhood problems in enforcing laws, preventing and detecting crimes, restoring order and peace in the area and reducing crimes against women and weaker sections.
Locating and reporting to the police about strangers and other persons of doubtful character, assisting local police in patrolling at night in crime prone areas, ensuring timely flow of crime related intelligence from the community to the police and ensuring communal harmony through collective efforts particularly during festivals, religious processions and public functions are some of the key functions of 'community policing'.
A home ministry official said, "The increased fund for the community policing is currently meant for 106 districts in disturbed areas which are covered under the Security Related Expenditure Scheme of the Center".
Other districts in both rural and urban areas are covered with funds provided by the state police. Expenditure under the SRE Scheme is first incurred by the states and thereafter reimbursed by the Centre. However, 25% advance of the approved annual work plan outlay is provided to the states in the beginning of the financial year for smooth implementation of the Scheme.
